| Tomatoes at Tarry Market |
Two weeks ago, I tested a recipe for The New York Times. Believe it or not, it was for homemade pizza using my electric oven, a GE Profile. I’ve never made pizza at home before, so this was a fun experience.
Lessons Learned
- Make sure you allow at least 24 hours and up to 3 days to proof the pizza dough. My refrigerator was too cold for it to proof at 24 hours, resulting in a very chewy crust.
- You don’t have to follow the recipe given exactly – you know how your oven works, so use your best judgement
- Have fun with toppings. I cooked sausage, onions, and garlic in a sauté pan. I then placed it on top of the pizza and baked the pizza until done.
- Don’t use cheap cheese – get your cheese from a gourmet market. It’s worth the extra money.
- It’s okay to splurge on tomato sauce. Like good cheese, the sauce will make a difference.
Where I purchased my toppings
I bought my toppings at Tarry Market in Port Chester, NY. I bought jarred Mario Batali pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella, parsley and cheese sausage, and vine red tomatoes.
